Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas

Sautéed Fresh Chickpeas Fresh chickpeas are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. Fresh chickpeas are available only a few weeks a year in farmers and specialty markets. I happened to walk into a wonderful ethic market the other day and it's the first thing I spotted. I bought them without knowing what to do with them. They are freshly picked green garbanzo beans. This method sautés them in their shell and you eat them like edamame.
